I saw an ad in a Mother Earth News magazine that explained how to make beer. The very first batch I produced turned out really good, so I figured I had a knack for it.

It's nice to be able to drink your own beer and be proud of it. It's especially nice to know others like your product too.

It's the only way they serve beer in England. It eliminates carbonation and the beer is served warm. That's the best way to achieve the real taste of beer.

I have been brewing beer commercially since 1992. But I've been making home-brew for more than 17 years.

You don't play beer ads in the morning and you don't play beer ads on the news, so they're going against all kinds of conventions. When you do things against convention, you own it. It puts your thinking on edge.

I didn't plan on taking 11 years to get my diploma. I guess I was having too much fun making home-brew.
